Sunday afternoon, attendance was up!
Cool stuff like this everywhere!
Wow! We saw this one in person.
Another view.
But watching him roll around on the asphalt was the coolest.
Super Speedway Racing were selling souvenirs in the parking
lot.
Tardelli Auto had some great displays.
Best shirt of the show!
The team from Rev Power Sports brought out
a good selection of sleds, including this four stroke.
Polaris Dealers showed off their best!
The kids tried out the Mini Z.
The club showed off their groomers outside.
The youngest club member was hard at work too!
A solid core of volunteers made it all possible.
Bombardiers new helmet... around 450 usd!
Zen enjoys a cigar! (I know I know...)
Great used sled deals were everywhere, and trailers too.
The members of the club can be very proud of their first ever snowmobile
trade
show. Attendance was respectable for a first attempt, and will probably double
next
year through word of mouth. Most importantly, the club broke even, and raised
awareness
of the sport in the Massina NY Area, and signed on about seventy new members!
Here is the official Press release below, sent out yesterday...

Club Support from the Community
Honourable Mention
Bob Carlton and employee Zara on Saturday morning at work
in
Bobby I's dining room.
When I attended the show in Massena, I had the privilege
of meeting Bob Carter, owner of Bobby I's dining room
in Helena NY.
I enjoyed his hospitality at the restaurant, and his company
on the showroom floor. Bob has supported the club this fall
with a draw on a new hunting rifle, and a few other fund raising
events.
He was also sponsoring a quad event on the same weekend,
where about fifty members of the UAW raised money for a
children's benefit.
In Canada as in the US, it takes volunteers and businessmen
alike, to keep the trails open for our motorized sports.
Zenwaiter takes his hat off to Bob, and all others like him
that make it happen. See you next year Bob!

PS On a personal note, I would like to thank
the people that gave me a bed
and fed me with good New York beef, Club President Mike Hewlett and his lovely
wife,
(what a sweetie!) And, by the way, Zen is a very hip name for boys
this year...
and "Zena" is all the rage for girls.
If you have comments or corerection... hahaha ( I am a
mess I know),
I would love to hear them.
xxoo Zen
